"Yes! Have you forgotten the case of a dozen Luo Ao's mysterious deaths a few years ago? Maybe... this incident is the plot of the mastermind behind the scenes to blame Dumbledore."

"Enough! Arthur Weasley! I declare now as Minister for Magic that you are fired. Get out! Get out of here! From now on, the Ministry of Magic has no need of Dumbledore's dog. Rufus, I authorize you to arrest Albus Dumbledore immediately and kill him on the spot if he dares to resist. The British wizarding world has tolerated his misconduct for too long. It is time for everyone to understand that Dumbledore is just a mortal and has no qualifications above the law."

While speaking these words, Cornelius Fudge clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes shot out with chilling madness.

"Understood! Don't worry, Mr. Minister, I promise that Dumbledore will be arrested and brought to justice." The director of the Auror office stood up and bowed slightly, then strode away and disappeared at the end of the corridor outside the door.

greedy!

Ambition!

envy!

vanity!

As long as human beings exist, they will never be able to get rid of their inherent nature.

No matter how they cover it up, they will inevitably hate and hate those minority groups who are smarter and better than themselves.

This sentiment needs only a little channeling to evolve into a massive and targeted campaign of isolation and exclusion.

As far back as 2000 years ago in ancient Greece, the citizens of the city-state of Athens exiled their best leaders in the name of opposing dictatorship.

Naturally, the current British magic community can use the same reason to attack Dumbledore, and even convict him and send him to Azkaban.

In fact, this incident just exposed the dark psychology of the public described in the book "The Crowd", and Zhang Cheng, the mastermind behind the scenes, only played a guiding and promoting role.

He probably never expected that not long after the whole plan was launched, Dumbledore had already become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of most bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic...

Chapter 776 Arrest

Anyone who knew Rufus Scrimgeour knew he was a fast-moving fellow, and if an important decision was made tonight, it would never wait until the next day.

After being authorized by the elder Cornelius Fudge, this hardliner with the fearless courage known as a lion took less than an hour and a half to lead people into the Hogwarts auditorium, in front of the teachers of the three wizarding schools Facing the old man who was dining, he and the students shouted: "Albus Dumbledore! I now announce that you are under arrest in the name of attacking and killing officials of the Ministry of Magic."

"what?!"

"Just kidding!"

"Is the Ministry of Magic crazy?"

……

Before the master could react, the students and professors around quit.

Especially Minerva McGonagall, who was in charge of teaching Transfiguration, even drew out her wand and was ready for battle.

But unfortunately, before she could take any action, Dumbledore raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and he stood up and asked, "Scremgeour! You just said that I attacked and killed officials of the Ministry of Magic. What's the matter?" Evidence?"

"Hmph! Don't pretend to be stupid! Just a few hours ago, you launched an attack in front of the magic department and killed the three of us with your own hands. Now you still want to pretend to be innocent here?" Rufus sneered and took out his wand to cast it. A scene reproduces the spell.

moment!

A wisp of white mist quickly spread in the air, followed by the original display of the fierce battle that happened not long ago.

As the director of Luo Ao's office, whose function is similar to a mixture of the army and the police in the magic world, he may not be as reckless as he usually appears.

On the contrary, this is a man with a tough appearance but a delicate heart. He understands that the arrest of a wizard with great influence must not only rely on tough methods, but also produce evidence that convinces everyone.

At the very beginning, there were a few people in the auditorium who defended Dumbledore, but their voices became smaller and smaller, and finally fell into a dead silence.

Not to mention most of the students watching the excitement, even Minerva McGonagall had an extremely ugly expression on her face.

the reason is simple!

Although the attacker wore a mask, his height, voice, gaze, demeanor, and powerful spellcasting ability were all exactly the same as Dumbledore's. Even the closest people could hardly tell the truth from the fake.

What's even more frightening is that when the attack happened, Dumbledore was not in public, but hid in the principal's room, during which he only met Ron Weasley once.

This also means...

Right now, the burden of getting rid of the crime temporarily falls on a big boy.

For a moment, every intelligent person who figured it out turned their eyes to Ron, as if waiting for him to speak up as a witness for Dumbledore.

After all, there are only a few thousand people in the British wizarding community. Everyone knows that the Weasleys are Dumbledore's hardcore supporters.

But what is surprising is that the youngest son of the Weasley family just glanced at his principal indifferently, and then said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I only stayed in the principal's office for less than 5 minutes. There's no way to prove that Dumbledore wasn't the murderer."

"Ron! You?!" Minerva McGonagall was completely stunned, never dreaming of such a result.

"Professor McGonagall, didn't the school always teach us not to lie, do you want me to lie to deceive the Ministry of Magic?" Ron blinked innocently.

"Very good! Young man! You made the right choice!" Rufus pursed his lips and smiled triumphantly. "Albus Dumbledore, tell me, are you going to follow me obediently back to the trial now, or are you going to resist?"

"Scrimgeour, even though you may not believe it, I still have to say that I am innocent, and this is a conspiracy." The old man sighed helplessly.

He knew that this matter was aimed at him from the very beginning, but the problem was that there was no way to explain it, and even if he explained it, others would not believe it.

"Sorry, I only believe in the evidence. Go! Arrest him!" Rufus obviously didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and directly gave orders to Luo Ao behind him.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be caught before I find out the truth." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore pulled out the powerful Elder Wand, raised his hand and put it on the two unlucky ones who rushed to the front.

However, he didn't kill anyone. At most, he knocked them out, and then directly cast Apparation to disappear in place.

Ever since Zhang Cheng publicly named the loopholes in Hogwarts' magic protection, wizards with a little bit of strength can use teleportation magic in the school, but few can do it accurately, and Dumbledore happens to be one of them. one.

"Damn! He escaped? Immediately issue a warrant for Albus Dumbledore! Publish it on the front page of the next issue of the Daily Prophet!" Rufus roared angrily with a straight face.

In fact, anyone who is not a fool understands how difficult it is to capture a powerful wizard like Dumbledore.

The real purpose of bringing people here this time is not to arrest, but to smash the shell of light and justice on the opponent, turning him into a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, just like Voldemort.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of Luo Ao from the Ministry of Magic and the fact that Principal Dumbledore became a wanted criminal undoubtedly cast a shadow over the ongoing Triwizard Tournament.

Just when the professors wanted to elect an interim principal to preside over the overall situation in order to maintain stability, Lucius Malfoy appeared in the auditorium with a group of school trustees.

I saw that he first glanced at all the students with a light full of pride and contempt, and then spread out a piece of parchment and read aloud: "Orders from the Ministry of Magic! Between Albus Dumbledore's viciousness for many years! From now on From now on, the management of Hogwarts will be taken over by the school board of directors. Every professor must undergo strict assessment again, and those who are unqualified will be eliminated. Now, on behalf of the board of directors, I appoint Mr. Zhang from the far east as the interim principal!"

The voice falls!

Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape immediately exchanged a look, filled with horror.

Because they knew about the conflict that broke out between Zhang Cheng and Dumbledore not long ago. At that time, the former had threatened to expel the latter from school this semester. Who would have thought that it would be done so quickly.

Zhang Cheng noticed the small movements of these two people in private, stood up and bowed gracefully, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the trust of the Ministry of Magic and the school board. As a guest who came from afar, I am really flattered. But the successor Let’s get rid of it, I think it’s time to devolve power and let students form a student union to manage themselves.”

"Establish the self-management of the student union?" A school manager from aristocratic background subconsciously frowned, obviously not very interested in this plan.
