Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 126 It’s all the stupid lion’s fault

The expression on Fudge's face became more and more proud, and some of the vigilance in his eyes gradually disappeared under Harry's words:

"Oh, dear child, you can't say that. Most of this is due to you... Of course, I do have a certain contribution, right?

Thanks to my wise arrangement... You are right, I should contact the Daily Prophet and arrange for two more famous reporters.

This matter can make headlines, and it can last for several days, appeasing the wizards in the wizarding world..."

Fudge's voice became quieter and quieter, but the expression on his face became more and more excited.

"Connery?" Dumbledore called softly, bringing Fudge back to reality.

"Oh, Albus!" Fudge came back to his senses, the expression on his face still not disappearing, "Is there anything else?"

"I think everything is settled, isn't it?" Dumbledore didn't care about Fudge's mistake, and stared at Fudge with his blue eyes.

“The heir of Slytherin is Gilderoy Lockhart, who tampered with the memories of many people, sneaked into Hogwarts Castle, and released the basilisk.

And Harley killed the basilisk and the heir of Slytherin. All this evidence is conclusive, Hagrid is also innocent and should be released.

As for more stuff, I think we should go to the Ministry of Magic now. "

"Of course, of course, we still have a lot of things to do." Fudge suddenly remembered the mountain of affairs and the conflicts between the two pure-blood families, and couldn't help but get a headache again.

Especially Hagrid, that stupid big guy was not easy to deal with. After all, he sent Hagrid to Azkaban without paying any attention to Dumbledore.

Now we still have to appease him and restore our reputation...

Fortunately, there is Harley, which effectively relieves her political pressure.

Thinking of this, Fudge admired Harry even more.

If Fudge himself hadn't wanted to follow the example of the former Minister of Magic, Faris Spaven, who stayed in office for forty years at a stretch, outlasted the Deputy Minister, or even surpassed him.

And Harley may be competing for her spot.

Then Fudge really wanted to recruit Harley as an administrative assistant after she graduated.

"Rufus, lead the Aurors to clean up the scene and take away the criminal evidence..." Fudge stopped thinking and ordered Scrimgeour beside him.

But before he finished speaking, Harley suddenly said:

"Minister Fudge, I killed this basilisk on my own, and it was also a legacy of Slytherin.

So I think it should stay at Hogwarts for the professors at the school to study. "

Harley is very smart. If she insists on monopolizing the basilisk, the Ministry of Magic will definitely intervene, and there will be bad public opinion.

But by leaving the basilisk in the name of staying at Hogwarts, how could he not use the materials from the basilisk?

Anyway, these materials will probably be provided to Professor Snape for use. Other professors will only take a little for research at most. Rounding up, the basilisk will also be his own.

When he heard Harley's words, a look of reluctance flashed across Fudge's face.

After all, there are not many basilisks left in the magic world now, at least on the surface, this kind of black magic creature has become extinct.

Although I don't know what the basilisk is used for, those potion masters will definitely be very happy to study it.

So this basilisk corpse can be sold for a good price no matter what.

But the property left by Slytherin should belong to Hogwarts, and legally, Fudge had no reason to interfere.

What's more, Fudge still has a lot of political troubles and urgently needs Dumbledore's support and Harley's cooperation.

Therefore, he was unwilling to go too far and have conflicts with the two of them.

After all, Jin Gallon couldn't earn it this time, and he would have another chance to earn it next time. If he lost his position as Minister of Magic, he would really lose it.

Besides, as long as he is still the Minister of Magic, it will be easy to obtain this gold Galleons.

Just from this incident alone, if I really helped Lucius solve his trouble, he could earn tens of thousands of galleons no matter what.

Thinking of this, Fudge made a decision: "You are right, my dear child.

Scrimgeour, just take photos and collect evidence. Try to preserve the basilisk's body as intact as possible, and we will have to find someone from the Daily Prophet to take a photo later. "

"Let's go, Cornelius." Dumbledore had been silent, and then urged him again, glancing at Harry without leaving any trace.

Harry resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Is Professor Dumbledore so afraid of getting involved in politics? So busy trying to take Minister Fudge away.

Dumbledore and the two quickly left the auditorium together, leaving only the Aurors taking pictures.

"Miss Harley, I didn't expect you to be so good. I hope you have the opportunity to work here."

Scrimgeour couldn't help but sigh when he and Harley were alone, and extended an invitation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Scrimgeour." Harley said sweetly, "I will consider it if possible."

The two said nothing more. Scrimgeour went to command the Aurors, and Harry lowered his presence and came to Professor Lockhart's side.

When she turned on her psychic vision earlier, Harry noticed that Professor Lockhart's glasses also looked valuable.

So she planned to touch the body quietly.

Anyway, the wizarding world doesn't have this habit, so even if someone later discovers that the glasses are missing, they probably won't care too much.

After putting away the glasses, Harry returned to his harmless and good student appearance, watching the Aurors busy.

The professors had just been informed by Professor McGonagall and now entered the auditorium.

They will work together to put away the basilisk and use it as evidence later.

However, the materials such as basilisk blood and basilisk venom need to be killed and taken immediately so as not to be wasted, so the professors have a lot of work.

But Professor Snape, who should have been the most excited, now had a gloomy look on his face.

No one told him that Lily's child was fighting the cunning and disgusting dark wizard and the dangerous basilisk alone!

It's simply blatant discrimination against him!

And Harry, why do you have to be as stupid as that damn James Potter!

The stupid lions of Gryffindor must have influenced her! It's all the stupid lion's fault!

Thinking of this, Professor Snape became very angry and wanted to give Harry five hundred points and then deduct six hundred points from Gryffindor.

Professor Snape had various thoughts flashing through his mind, but his movements were not slow at all.

He quickly came to Harry, took out two bottles of potion from the pocket of the wizard's robe and handed them over, and asked at the same time:

"Miss Harley, are you okay?"

Professor Snape's voice was cold, but it could not conceal his deepest concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Professor." Harry took the potion naturally and replied softly,

"That heir is just a loser, and the snake venom is very weak. It didn't cause me any pressure."

There were many wizards around, so Professor Snape still maintained his poker face and just nodded slightly:

"I understand. When you go to confinement again, you have to explain it to me.

These two bottles of magic potion contain the ingredients of phoenix tears, which have detoxification and healing effects. Drink it.

Also, you should go back to your dormitory right now and rest, and I will notify Professor McGonagall. "

Professor Snape spoke very quickly, as if he didn't want others to hear his inner worry.

Harley nodded, she also felt a little tired.

After saying goodbye to the professor, Harley slipped out of the side door alone.
