Ashes of Hogwarts

"I can only say that everyone who understands understands this matter, and I won't explain much to those who don't understand. After all, just know what you know, and study it carefully. Don't ask me what's wrong..."

Looking at Ash talking in the office, Snape looked at a loss.

No, how come you understand everything?

Who knows?

Why don't I just ask you how Peter was caught? Why are you pretending to be so mysterious like me?

It's not that Ash didn't want to say it, it was actually Comrade Dumbledore who issued a hush-hush order, instructing several people not to leak information about Dragon Academy to the outside world until the investigation was clear.

This matter involves the origin of Hogwarts, and it is really not suitable for too many people to know.

"Severus, do you want my answer? If you want it, I can give it to you. Go find it! I told Dumbledore everything!"

Ash's sudden enthusiasm made Snape confused. How could this kid lose his brain after catching a mouse?

"Hey, this is Dumbledore. Professors Lothric and Snape, who have received the call, please come to the principal's office."

Dumbledore's message came in time. Snape picked up Ash, who was still lying dead on the sofa, and strode toward the principal's office.

Okay, Snape, you have been working out recently.

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was receiving guests.

Hmm...a familiar guest.

Minister for Magic - Cornelius Fudge.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Minister."

Ash greeted Fudge happily, even though his face wasn't that pretty.

Fudge thought he was unlucky.

Since Professor Ash Lothric took office at Hogwarts, first Quirrell was identified as Voldemort's lackey, and then died in the Forbidden Forest, and then the secret room murder case that had been confirmed decades ago was retracted, It was determined that Tom Riddle, the student who actively reported the case, was the real murderer, which was another blow to the reputation of the Ministry of Magic.

As for this time, Fudge was really tired.

How could a good hero suddenly turn into a traitor?

The Ministry of Magic actually kept an innocent, last descendant of a pure-blood family in Azkaban for 12 years.

If this matter spreads, the Ministry of Magic will be completely embarrassed.

And these things are inseparable from this Professor Ash Losrick.

Fudge was very aggrieved.

Because he didn't dare to be presumptuous with Ash, who had a weird temper and was even more difficult to deal with than Dumbledore.

It wasn't long before he was a hot topic for beating up all the teachers and students in the school.

"Kingsley, Veritaserum!"

The only person he could offend in the office was Snape, but Snape was not an easy character to get along with, so Fudge could only vent his temper on Peter Pettigrew, who was tied up and shivering in the corner.

At noon, Ash and Dumbledore had already extracted Peter's memories of the deep sea and the Chamber of Secrets.

With the cooperation of spiritual masters and soul experts, Peter's memory was shaped seamlessly.

As if to vent his grievances, Fudge took matters into his own hands, slapped the still trembling Peter so harshly that he grinned, and then forcefully drank Veritaserum into him.

"Put it aside, I want to know everything in 10 minutes."

Fudge put his hands behind his back and told Kingsley to finish the rest of the work.

But Snape clearly saw that Fudge's hand was red and seemed to be bleeding, and it was still shaking.

He nudged Ash and motioned him to look carefully at the Minister's hand.

"Mr. Minister, I have the bruise medicine specially supplied by Kunlun, China. It is very useful. Do you want some for you?"

Ash took out a small bottle and shook it in front of Fudge, making the minister's face turn green.

"No, Professor Losric." Fudge coldly rejected Ash's kindness. He crossed his numb hands from his back to his chest, and grimaced in pain again.

hiss~

The Minister is really cruel, it hurts Peter so much.

Ghislaith was indeed a professional Auror. With the help of his questioning and Veritaserum, Peter quickly revealed everything that happened 12 years ago.

Fudge listened to Kingsley's report with a cold expression. Finally, he checked with his wand and found no trace of the Imperius Curse.

Of course, Ash and Dumbledore worked together to cast it, which was much more advanced than the Imperius Curse.

What happened 12 years ago has come to light. Witnessed by two holders of the First Order of Merlin and numerous portraits of former Hogwarts principals, Sirius's release is already a certainty.

"However, I still hope you two..."

Fudge also wanted to make a final struggle, but was ruthlessly rejected by Ash.

"The people have the right to know the truth."

A big part of the reason why Ash didn't like Fudge was that he was irresistible. Even if he randomly changed the person on the bench, he would feel much more decisive than him.

"Sirius may not be considered a hero, but he should never continue to live with such a crime and endure the strange looks of others."

"Shit! All the boys in my Black family are good!"

Phineas started spraying, and his canvas became visibly wet.

"But he did make a wrong decision. This is undeniable, Mr. Black! If he could have thought carefully with his brain, which is not much bigger than a mouse, Lily might not have died."

Snape was the only one who would fight Phineas at this time.

He wished that Black would die in Azkaban forever, and maybe send that damn kobold in there to keep him company.

Phineas was considered an unpopular headmaster when he was alive, and was fond of Snape, currently the most unpopular professor.

But when it came to the only heir of the Black family, he quarreled with Snape mercilessly.

"Don't worry, I know Rita Sky very well, and I will definitely release the news according to the truth. After all, you were not the Minister of Magic at that time, and now you are trying to bring order to the chaos."

Leaving the battlefield to Phineas and Snape, the four of them slowly left the principal's office.

The three big guys walked side by side, but Kingsley could only drag Peter, who had fainted, behind them.

Fudge felt that Ash's words sounded familiar, as if he had just heard something similar not long ago.

But he has a point!

"Kingsley, take the note I approved and go immediately to acquit Black. At the same time, let the dementors take good care of this guy. He will bring shame to the Ministry of Magic."

Of course, this kind of thing should be left to his subordinates. After sending Kingsley away, he took off his hat and said goodbye to Ash and Dumbledore in a friendly manner.

"Goodbye, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Lothric."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Ash smiled very kindly: "Come and play often when you have time!"

No!I will never come again!

Fudge, who was walking towards the stairs, staggered, but luckily he put his hands on the ground and didn't fall.

Unfortunately, the hand he was supporting was even redder.
